Cool Modern Style Turning

My Neighbor Hethe was messing around on the wood lathe and came up with this. The bowl is approx 6” in diameter and stands about 4” tall. It is made from a piece of Cherry and finished with shellac and wax. I will have to make a lid for it. Not really sure what to use it for. Any ideas?

Not sure but it does look cool, I just got a lathe last week and have just started playing on it, first time im my 51 years I have touched a wood lathe. I spent 20 years on a metal lathe but thats a whole different game.

Nice turning,. It gives me an idea!I think I would use cherry with a light colored band of maybe Maple in it. Laminate a veneer in 2 pieces of cherryThe cherry will naturally darken and the maple will grow in contrast!............just a thought for your lid.

THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
